| mytho | liar / someone who makes up stories | France, French (colloquial) | “Arrête, t’es un mytho.” | France, Europe |
Definition & Description of Mytho
“Mytho” refers to a person who lies, exaggerates, or tells dramatic stories just to impress others.
It comes from the French word “mythomane,” meaning someone who invents stories (a fabulist).
A mytho isn’t always harmful — sometimes they’re just seeking attention. But it can also describe someone who constantly lies in a way people no longer trust.
This word is especially common among teenagers, friends, and social groups where exaggeration is easily noticed.
It can be playful or a bit insulting, depending on the tone.
Examples of Mytho
- “Il invente toujours tout. Quel mytho !”
(He always makes stuff up. What a liar!) - “C’est faux ? T’es un mytho ou quoi ?”
(Not true? Are you lying or what?) - “Elle adore faire sa mytho.”
(She loves acting like a liar.)
